Waiting again...

I remember the "waiting game" (back in 07) for my ordered GL to arrive.....here I am doing it again in 2011. It was fun, however, there was a group of us "first adopters"...... Nevada Jack, Stevethepilot, boxboss and others.....we had a great time comparing notes! ...doesn't look like MB has put anymore speed into the process!

We waited for our GL320 2008 for 8 moths in 2007-2008.
It was supposed to arrive in September 2007 arrived in February 2008.
No we are waiting from December 3, 2010 till hopefully first week of May 2011.
Already one time postpone production by 2 weeks.
